You are more than your body
more than your humanity
You are a gift
Imagine a void.
There is nothing in it but you
you become aware
of yourself inside
the void
You just are.
You slowly become aware of another presence,
and you know that you don’t have to fear
Both in the void
Then there is light
You are a witness to events happening around you now
explosions and things you don’t understand
things happening fast going on and moving past you
all of a sudden, the motion settles down
You realize you’re above the earth
above the whole of it
above the everything
You are witness to everything that will ever happen
It is sad
glorious
Beautiful
Mind-boggling
All of time happened
Instantaneously
and you witnessed it
Everything was seen and known before it happened
before it was allowed to happen
You are in the before moment
a physical body
free will
Every possibility that could happen
choices
no matter what changes are made
all of them
already known
It was all allowed to begin
You are the captain of your ship
the master of your destiny
no matter the circumstances
There are things beyond your control
like your birth circumstance
You can however control how you react
think
treat people
treat yourself
Your body and brain
reacts
like a reflex
But you are above this
you are more than your body
your humanity
even though you have forgotten
Your existence was gifted
You are
allowed
you are here
I’m curious
Will, you ever become aware
how much more you are
What will your impact be?
You should share your gifts
even though you don’t think you have any
Be kind
even in the face of your enemy
Let your voice be heard
Stand up for injustice
make necessary changes
Stop letting the inner critic stop you
from sharing your gifts
Have beautiful ideas
have dreams
dream big
dream small
Pay attention to your reactions
goosebumps
spontaneous giggles
heart racing
These are the whispers from your soul
the stirrings of possibilities
Your soul remembers
Please stop trying to make it so perfect
before you
write
speak
draw
sing
run
That inner critic is like a demon
sitting on your shoulder
preventing you from
your destiny
all of the amazing
beautiful
impacts of your life well lived
OK captain
what are you going to do today?
Tomorrow?
Turn on that faucet
Let it drip from you
Bloom
